My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

"hehe."

Xu Fuyang sneered into the phone disapprovingly.

"That woman is really getting better at acting."

"Last night, I dragged a man to the Xinglong Department Store on Qingnian Road to perform for Shanshan. Seeing that Shanshan didn't fall for it, she dragged me to Xinglong Department Store. Today, I ran to the Red Sun Publishing House to perform for you."

"Cao Yunze, you have a pure heart, so that woman can deceive you."

"That woman was taken back to the Xu family by the old man to be raised when she was less than nine years old. Looking around Jiangcheng, every family with a bit of reputation knows that woman is my, Xu Fuyang's, child bride."

"With our Xu family's status in Jiangcheng, who dares to snatch a woman from me, Xu Fuyang?"

"Child bride!"

"Xu Fuyang, you actually said Sister Jiaojiao was your child bride, you bastard."

"Your Xu family is indeed very prestigious in Jiangcheng, and you, Xu Fuyang, are indeed young and promising, but there is an old saying in our Dragon Country: there are always people beyond people, there are always heavens beyond heavens, and there are always mountains beyond mountains."

"Xu Fuyang, not every man in Jiangcheng is afraid of your Xu family's status, and afraid of you, Xu Fuyang."

I really don’t know where this guy gets his confidence from!

Cao Yunze was so angry that he hung up the phone.

There was a beeping sound on the phone, and Xu Fuyang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot that had been burning for years. He didn't know whether he was angry about Cao Yunze's last few words, or because he was angry that Cao Yunze hung up the phone without permission.

After Xu Fuyang sulked for a while, he put down the phone and walked towards the kitchen.

"Mother Zhou."

"Hey, Master Fu Yang, what instructions do you have?"

Mother Zhou, wearing an apron, leaned half of her body out of the kitchen.

Xu Guangping and Zhu Meiyun are hosting a banquet for distinguished guests tonight, and Zhou Ma has been busy since early morning.

After preparing breakfast for the Xu family, she went out to buy groceries with a basket without even taking a breath.

When she was returning home from shopping, she happened to meet Zhu Meiyu who was going out to work. Zhu Meiyu told her to make preparations early to avoid any delays.

Seeing the kitchen floor piled with untidy fish, meat, shrimp, chicken and a lot of vegetables, with no place to step, Xu Fuyang stopped at the kitchen door and ordered with some disdain: "Give me a bowl of noodles, I need to go out soon."

Mother Zhou just felt a headache.

Don’t go downstairs to eat after making breakfast.

Breakfast is gone now, and I need to eat breakfast again.

This family of young and old is really hard to please.

It's not easy to earn these 40 yuan from the Xu family.

No wonder Jiaojiao ran away from home!

"Master Fu Yang, we're out of braised pork at home. Can I make you a bowl of egg noodles?"

Mother Zhou had a smile on her face, but she was actually pissing off inside.

"can."

When Zhang Wanru heard the conversation between Xu Fuyang and Zhou Ma, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Brother Fu Yang was influenced by Cao Yunze and planned to go out to find Yun Jiaojiao.

Why is Cao Yunze so nosy?

Zhang Wanru gritted her teeth and hated Cao Yunze in her heart.

"Brother Fuyang, don't be angry."

"Comrade Yun Jiaojiao cares about you so much, she definitely won't marry another man. She must be putting on an act for you."

Zhang Wanru moved closer to Xu Fuyang and pretended to pull his arm casually.

Seeing that Xu Fuyang did not shake off her arm, Zhang Wanru was happy.

Brother Fu Yang doesn't mind her touch, so she has a great chance of replacing Yun Jiaojiao.

"Brother Fu Yang, don't be angry with Cao Yunze. You have been brothers for many years. Don't let a small matter ruin your relationship."

"Cao Yunze doesn't understand Comrade Yun Jiaojiao, so he spoke to you like that. His starting point is for your own good."

After some persuasion from Zhang Wanru, Xu Fuyang's complexion gradually improved.

Wanru was right. Although Cao Yunze's words were unpleasant to the ears, his intention was for his own good.

He and Cao Yunze have been brothers for many years, and he cannot let the harmony between them be damaged because of a woman like Yun Jiaojiao.

"Master Fu Yang, your egg noodles are ready."

After Xu Fuyang washed up, changed into decent clothes and went downstairs, the steaming egg noodles were just out of the pot.

Mother Zhou brought the noodles to Xu Fuyang with a smile.

Turning around and walking back to the kitchen, Zhou Ma immediately curled her lips.

My face is so stiff from laughing.

Is she working as a servant in the Xu family, or is she selling smiles in the Xu family?

Oh! Life is so hard without Jiaojiao!

"Brother Fu Yang, are you planning to go out and look for Comrade Yun Jiaojiao?"

Zhang Wanru sat opposite Xu Fuyang, covering her mouth with her hands and asked Xu Fuyang in a low voice.

Xu Fuyang raised his eyes and glanced at her, with obvious wariness in his eyes.

"Brother Fu Yang, don't worry, I won't tell Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, nor will I tell Su Shanshan."

Only then did Xu Fuyang put away the defensive look in his eyes.

Having confirmed her guess, Zhang Wanru clenched her fists under the table.

That bitch Yun Jiaojiao never went to college and is illiterate. She went to college, has knowledge and culture, and can help Brother Fu Yang better than Yun Jiaojiao. Why does Brother Fu Yang have to get that bitch Yun Jiaojiao back?

"Brother Fu Yang, you have to go early and come back early."

Zhang Wanru blinked innocently in front of Xu Fuyang.

"Aren't Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu going to invite the leaders of your unit to dinner at home tonight? You should come back early to talk with them and leave a good impression on them. This will help you get promoted."

"I see."

"I'll be back soon."

This reminder was very useful to Xu Fuyang.

Xu Fuyang's eyes suddenly became much gentler when he looked at Zhang Wanru.

She was still sensible and knew how to consider things from his perspective, unlike that dead woman Yun Jiaojiao who only knew how to stick to him.

Now she even dares to run away from home and show him her displeasure.

Noticing the change in Xu Fuyang's eyes, Zhang Wanru felt secretly happy.

"Brother Fu Yang, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"explain."

Xu Fuyang stopped eating noodles and looked up at Zhang Wanru.

"Since you've moved into the Xu family, you're a distinguished guest of the Xu family. If you have any grievances in your heart, just speak out boldly."

When Zhou Ma, who was busy in the kitchen, heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Zhang Wanru, this cunning girl, was going to complain about her in front of Young Master Fu Yang?

Rather than being fired by the Xu family, it is better to resign voluntarily.

At least she saved her face.

Just as Zhou Ma was about to take off her apron and quit her job to find Xu Fuyang to resign, she heard Zhang Wanru say to Xu Fuyang in a coquettish voice, "I haven't been wronged."

"Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are very kind to me. They treat me like their daughter. Shanshan treats me like a sister. Aunt Zhou also takes good care of me. During the two days I've been staying at the Xu family, I've felt like I'm at home."

Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, quickly tied her apron back on, and retracted the foot she had stepped forward.

What on earth does Zhang Wanru, this cunning girl, want to say in front of Young Master Fu Yang?

There are a lot of nice words at the beginning as a prelude, but what comes later is definitely some harsh and spicy stuff.

These little tricks were all played by her when she was young.

Mother Zhou quickly pricked up her ears out of curiosity and continued to eavesdrop.
